Daniele Galli on ABG

by giuli 24 March 2011

A nice interview with Daniele Galli just came out on the abriefglance front blog. Daniele tells us how he’s recovering from last winter’s injury, about his job at  the Trinity Skatepark and unveals some plans for the future, all of this enriched by some nice flicks by Davide Biondani and topped off with this Danny and friends video part, that summarizes some of his 2010 skateboarding.

Danny, who’s a real superhero, has already been skating for a couple of months despite his surgery in November, and i’m pretty sure that summer 2011 will see him shred many sessions.

Jonathan Levin’s blog

by giuli 24 March 2011

I love skating trees and gas stations… i live in the costant struggle in between nature (trees), and environmental devastation (gas stations)…
Jonathan Levin

I’ve been wanting to review here Jonathan Levin’s blog for quite some time now, but wanting to do it properly, i was looking for this old picture that, in my opinion, well portrays his personality.

The site’s name is Roma Bisboccia and it documents (with videos) the skateboarding adventures of Jonny and his pals Ale Martoriati, Papik Rossi, Nico Cimini and Mirai Pulvirenti dealing with Rome, romanity, romans, traffic, sketchy pavement, trees and gas stations.

I visit the site as often as i can, always hoping in the release of a new video gem…

boobs and boards

by vecho 24 March 2011

Two out of my biggest three passions are naked women and skateboarding.

After a life spent attempting, frequently in vain, to have the two things coexist, thanks to Playboy Enterprise, I can finally look at the realization of the ideal scene: a skatepark, a wood bowl and four beautiful girls dressed up with nothing but shoes and socks as they ride their skateboards.

Thanks to granpa Huge Hefner who’s always made us dream and thanks to skateboarding which has always been fun.

Daniele Galli is on the cover of issue no.5 of a brief glance with a bs smith grind on the Knodel bowl cradle. The good flick of Davide Biondani gives justice to the trick and motivates Danny in these very last few days of physical therapy, while he’s on his way to full recovery from his last injury.
